I enter the following:

>>> a=2
>>> x0=1
>>> b='a*x0'

Now I want the value of b, which is a*x0, i.e., b=2*1=2. How to implement this code?

`'b={0}*{1}={2}'.format(a, x0, a*x0)` – Nir Alfasi Dec 02 '17 at 17:04
b=a*x0 remover quote – Artier Dec 02 '17 at 17:05
@RottenCandy why do you think that eval is required? see my previous comment... – Nir Alfasi Dec 02 '17 at 17:06
@alfasin i think he first wants to store the string separately and then evaluate it. – saud Dec 02 '17 at 17:08
@RottenCandy and both can be done without using `eval` :) – Nir Alfasi Dec 02 '17 at 17:13
